I did outrun a bus once, it was quite a short distance, Icut a curb, and he hit a red light. Almost got hit by a car and ripped my lungs out though.
But once I was waiting at the crosswalk just in front of the bus stop for the pedestrians light to turn green, the driver saw me, I made a hand motion for him to wait, and he knew what it meant as I take the bus every morning... The light turned green, I was about 1m away from the door when he drove off. I cursed that bitch with all my heart that morning.

*pats head* oh no, we're gonna scare dogs together.

Also at some points we ate rats.
And the best (well...not for those who ingested it) comes from the XIXth century, when chemistry was seen as the future of food and poor people wanted to eat stuff they normally couldn't, such as jam. To reduce producing cost, they would put bark, glue, paper, cotton... inside. Because of the sugar, the taste was ok.
I've read that in a book about XIXth century food industry and there were wilder things in there that I don't quite remember, I'll try to fetch back my notes.

We've actually been created by the power of the dreams of all the people who've seen Ratatouille.
